Muddy. Very, very muddy. It's okay, though - I was riding my Shimano-equipped bike.

I should add: after using campy shifters (QS) versus Shimano STI, it's painfully obvious why anyone (but racers, especially) would choose campy. You really need the ability to jump multiple cogs at a time, going both up and down, to adjust for terrain. With that in mind, SS and fixed cross or XC riders are a bunch of hard-ass mother****ers.
